Dedicated resource for dads with disabled children

19 July 2007

Contact A Family, a charity for families of disabled children, has set up a Dads’ Zone on its website, which includes all sorts of useful information, from information about rights to benefits, to dads’ stories.

Here dads can find information about how to go about negotiating flexible working arrangements; source advice about making adaptations around the home and buying specially adapted cars; and discover networking opportunities through which they can link up with other dads in similar situations.

The Dads’ Zone also includes a link to a detailed factsheet for dads of disabled children, and links to a range of other resources including books, support organisations and websites.
